Tesla is taking questions from shareholders. May I suggest logging in to Say - Q&A and vote to have this very important question asked:

I actually think the speaker quality is better in Model 3 than in S. I don't think it has anything to do with firmware / software. Yes, it has front bias and I did play with all the settings. I am not an audiophile, but I think I have sufficient experience with sound systems and music to be able...

I am not an accountant (although I did work at Big4 long ago), nor a lawyer. As it was already mentioned here, there's TOSI rules that may be applicable to your structure. As per my experience, accountants do not necessarily know the intricacies of tax laws, although they may very well know what...

I don't like Plaid's sound quality, it's not poor but it's definitely sub par to Model 3. I couldn't have imagined that it can regress from there.

I prefer seating comfort of Model 3 over Model S's (and X)... I guess this is just personal, but I know other people who praise the comfortable seats of Model 3. I think it's seat's shape AND seating position, because Model Y didn't feel as great as 3 even though it has the same seats. As for...

Yes, I think (hope) you're right about the remorse thing... I didn't go through the inspection list, there were a couple of vert minor scratches that I don't really care about, but other than that nothing really noticeable. As far as the overall build quality, I can say that I don't see any...

Just got delivered Plaid S in Vancouver. After owning a few S since 2014, and currently having X and 3, I think I am having buyer's remorse with this Plaid. It surely is very nice, and the acceleration is stupid fast, but overall feeling is that it isn't for me. The yoke and controls isn't too...

What if he is just executing his calls?

I've looked at their financials after the Cybertruck rumor which led me to buy some STLD. It's no tech / super growth stock but I figured it's a good alternative to keeping some spare cash.

That was a bombshell... Elon: So why did it happen? Robinhood CEO: some BS Elon: uh... aaaaallllright....

Those SPVs are structured as LLCs. CRA doesn't like US LLCs. I highly recommend talking to a tax attorney to see if they can offer you a way to structure it efficiently should the SPV investment opportunity arise.

I kinda hate it too (but hate FB much more), but I find this is the thing I HAVE to use (read), probably most than anything else these days. edit: I wonder, what do you people use to consume news these days?

There is a lot of talk in this thread about speculative or early stage companies. But have anyone looked into TWTR? To me it looks like a potential gem that is right here in front of us. I think it is potentially a media monopoly in the future (if not today). As to how to value it, I am not...

Some here bought in KCAC/QS due to JB being a Board member. Did anyone buy TRNE / Desktop Metal because of JB? It looks like he actually put in his own money into it as opposed to just getting on "Board".

I'd say Canadian Solar is actually more a Chinese company headquartered in Canada. It's in Top 5 in the world per GWs produced, and Canada is not it's largest market. It's up ~50% since my February post, but as far as I can see it's still relatively undervalued.

I was unable to find any answers to my own question above, so I've been buying more Canadian Solar this year. It doesn't look like a hot tech stock, but it probably has the same or better growth potential with (I am hoping) lower risks, which is one of the reasons I've been adding it to my...

A few weeks ago I've read in New York Times Japan that their influenza rate was down 60% compared to the 2018-2019 season. They attributed it to the measures undertaken due to the coronavirus. If I remember correctly it was something on the order of 100K down to 40K of reported flu cases. I...

Does anyone know what's "wrong" with CSIQ - Canadian Solar? They are consistently profitable and seem to be priced low when looking at PB ~1.0, PE ~6.5, PS ~0.4. The CEO/Founder offered to take it private, I think about two years ago, at around ~$18.00 but it was declined. They've recently...

From my experience, I'd recommend against touching options. I've almost got destroyed with them, and not only did I think I knew what I was doing I was, as many here may view it, very conservative with them (long term and in the money calls, and cash covered out of the money short puts). I know...

I can scan it but may I ask, why? I played a little bit with Bloomberg's image source URL and was able to find this higher-res image: https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iMLHjqpJjr9M/v2/4800x-1.jpg Let me know if you think the scan is going to have better quality.

Okay, I feel like I needed to post. Congrats everyone! I started buying TSLA in 2014 and I did stupid things along the way (such as margin and LEAPs). Made some good decisions too (i.e. SCTY arbitrage, and loading with as much "spare" money as I can get). Overall, it seems like it turns out...

It looks like about ~100 EVs per day on average are sold (ordered) in BC lately: BC EV rebate to run out of money soon? From the linked post, it looks like ~8M worth of EV credits were reserved in 22 days of May. Granted, not all of them are Model 3s, but also, not all the incentives are worth...

Tesla got $2600 (Canadian) from me last week for the FSD, and another $2600 from my brother this week. Today Tesla also got an order for Model 3 SR+ from our friends who just returned their leased Prius C (just checked: starts at $22k). Their Model 3 is at least CAD$50k+ before incentives and...

I don't, that's why I said "probably". What I know (from my experience) is that Tesla is poor at both internal and external communications.

Installed V9 last night on our Model X. Got many calls from my wife this morning infuriated with the new UI. She can no longer have her camera on top of the screen and she doesn't care about maps at all. I agreed. BTW, I had a UI feedback interview with Tesla website design team after I had a...

Reminds me the "message" from 2016. If I remember correctly, he bought about 10m worth of SCTY at around 17$ before acquisition.

Just found their email in my spam folder dated about a month ago. Interesting quote about the battery: Anyone knows what manufacturer has the highest density cells that were tested for billions of miles? Hmm... I guess I might know one.

It seems like I've changed my mind selling it. But if someone is interested, pls PM.

Somehow I have a feeling they might actually deliver in June.

Come on, were you really expecting 4-8 weeks as per the configuration page? June is kinda too soon for me, actually.

Just got a call to be ready to become one of the first owners in BC! June delivery. (no info on whether it is in production already)

Even though I've not driven it a lot yet, I've noticed similar changes with 2018.12. Much more cars on the IC. Was surprised to see cars crossing an intersection, although they were depicted incorrectly. I also noticed the cars depicted are being coloured a bit differently compared to 10.4.

It just strikes me how pro-Tesla the new Chinese policy (declaration) is, and how fast it seems to have been developed. It directly addresses EM's points pronounced not so long ago. Looks like a direct result of EM's efforts (even if with some help of his friends at Trump's advisory board or...

Ordered April 12, 2018 Black, 18'', EAP

From 17 July 2017:

Price revision (while TSLA is on sale :)): CAD$ 63000 OBO

Brokerages & Trading Tools

Fee rate 5.35%, rebate rate 3.66%

To contribute to the short/loaned shares talk. IB has no shares for shorting recently, and the interest rate is growing (5.35% currently)

No extended warranty. I wonder if you can export a Canadian Tesla to the US at all?

Price update: CAD $65000 OBO CARPROOF available per request.

I am taking my 10-year old daughter for the Tesla Factory tour this week. I hope she will see something inspirational there worth studying and working hard for. I hope I am not too naive. Sorry for the off topic.

Thanks for the info. I was very curious how it handles Sea-to-Sky. I am still on 10.2, hoping to get 10.4 soon.

Wow, that was unexpected. Got my invitation today with 4-8 weeks ETA for First Production. Owner, reserved November 2016. Have two M3's to configure. Now I need to decide what to do with them since I have been upsold to Model X that I am getting next week. I still have two other Model S, one...

Uploaded pictures in the original post. More pictures:

2014 Model S P85, 102k KM, no AP, loaded.

I am going to list my 2014 Model S P85 for sale in a couple of days. PM me if interested.

Effect of the Starman advertisement?

I like IB overall, low fees, low interest rates, fast execution etc. But for the last two weeks, they had at least two cases of servers down (not accessible). In one case system was down for almost the whole day. Luckily, I didn't have anything urgent to do with an account, but that made me...
